Up and Running

Quick update for everyone from the last trip to the school,

The system is up and running and has been for three months now. They are using the power for all the intended uses(lights, fans, phones, etc.) plus devising new ones including shaving heads on the weekends. A few students have even started to stay at the school some nights to study and not spend hours walking back and forth from home. Here is a flick of the power room when I was there:



As for the interns, we have some delays from our friends over at the Department of Homeland Security, they are being strict with the visas. We are going through some fundraising to try and pay for process of bringing Jonathan and Maxmillah over to the Solar Living Institute. We need $2,400 to cover the additional costs of certifying the institute to be allowed to offer an exchange visa. Please
